LYRICS:<\/strong>
\nSo their big thing now is mice.
\nSo they’re raising millions of mice for their..
\n(nefarious plans?)
\n…other branches to experiment on.<\/p>\n

LEAVE ME ALONE!<\/p>\n

It’s good times man,
\nyou eat a lot of dirt and exhaust.<\/p>\n

Exquisite corpse.
\nIt’s a surrealist thing, once again.<\/p>\n

Actually, several constrained languages
\nthat are made to be human readable as well as
\nmachine readable.<\/p>\n

Like, they have rules…
\n(really?)
\n…to make them easier for
\ncomputers to understand.<\/p>\n

…I found the record he made
\nand I started quoting his song titles
\nat him. And putting them in quotes
\nand just responding to him.<\/p>\n

One of them was
\n“How Could My Life Get Any Worse?”<\/p>\n

Of COURSE you have a song called that.
\nAnd one was called “I’m So Lonely”
\nand I just kept quoting those at him.<\/p>\n

That’s Biblical.
\nI…
\nWorms…
\n…that had severe anxiety,
\nso,
\nI mean,
\n(it was) ridiculous.<\/p>\n

BAD AUDIO IS A HATE CRIME!
\nBAD AUDIO IS A HATE CRIME!
\nBAD AUDIO IS A HATE CRIME!
\nBAD AUDIO IS A HATE CRIME!
\nBAD AUDIO IS A HATE CRIME!<\/p>\n

All the apartments had old Murphy beds.
\nI gave myself a concussion trying to take
\none off the door one time.<\/p>\n

The guy above me would just drop his
\nevery night.
\nIt sounded like a car hitting the building and I lived
\non the fifth floor.<\/p>\n

People just got so used to the alarm
\ngoing off that they wouldn’t
\nleave the building.<\/p>\n

Apparently the person did what you said,
\nfell asleep and their mattress caught on fire.
\nThey were actually trying to drag the mattress
\ndown the hall while it was on fire.
\nAnd that didn’t work out so well.<\/p>\n

I touched the door
\nthe hallway door
\nto make sure it wasn’t hot.<\/p>\n

I opened it up and I
\ncouldn’t see a thing, man.
\nI held my hand up in front of my face
\nand I couldn’t see a thing.<\/p>\n

And there were 19 apartments on each floor.
\nI’m pounding on people’s doors
\ntrying to let ’em know
\nthis thing’s for real.<\/p>\n

Come to find out after the fire,
\nthe emergency lights were on, man.
\nThat’s how toxic it was.<\/p>\n

It was so black,
\nthe carpet, the chemicals in it,
\nit was a month before I
\nstarted to feel better.
\nAnd I had to do the nebulizer treatments.<\/p>\n

The apartment where the fire originated
\nbasically was just nothing but a
\nconcrete shell.
\nIt even burned through the old oak floor<\/p>\n

Feet still in the shoes on the bed?
\nProbably’d been a few hours since his
\nlast shot.
\nIf he’d just shot up he probably wouldn’t
\nhave out made it.<\/p>\n

You don’t get to keep your job
\nif you keep robbing people
\nand having your feet up on the table
\nand collecting the labor of others,
\nfor long,
\nif you
\neat your own.<\/p>\n
